#TBT Was @_Union5's EP Worth The #HYPE? #ZimHipHop

Like most people I first caught onto Union5 through the Empawa Africa programme, which had Flyin' as one of the products. So naturally I had to dig into his back catalogue, which is how I got to listen to the HYPE EP.

Overview: Like most people I first caught onto Union5 through the Empawa Africa programme, which had Flyin' as one of the products. So naturally I had to dig into his back catalogue, which is how I got to listen to the HYPE EP.

No. of Tracks/Duration: 9/30:46

Standout Tracks: Divine, Hona Magetsi, Plan, HwishuSpekk Verdict: This is easily one of the best projects I've heard in a while. In just 9 tracks there's a lot of variation. Mixing up English and Shona but still maintaining his young energy throughout the project. I found Hype rarely losing me. In case you forget he keeps reminding where he is from.

There's a lot of replay value in this project and I will definitely be on the lookout for more of Union5's music. One of the new school members that definitely should not be slept on.
